BtVS Drabble: Frustrated
Title: Frustrated
Fandom: BtVS
Author:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badly_knitted
Characters: William the Bloody.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 012: Poet at sesquidrabbles.
Spoilers/Setting: Fool For Love. Set pre-series.
Summary: William is no longer the man he once was, but some things haven’t changed.
Disclaimer: I don’t own BtVS, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Joss Whedon.
A/N: Drabble and a half, 150 words.
When he was human, William had been a frustrated poet. He’d had no talent for constructing verse, distilling thoughts, images, and emotions down to their essence and presenting them in a way that others could appreciate, but he’d tried anyway, soon earning himself the nickname of William the Bloody Awful.
These days he’s dropped the ‘Awful’ part in favour of being known simply as William the Bloody. It’s a fitting soubriquet for a vampire, neatly encapsulating his identity in three simple words, and already the name is feared by half the population of Europe. He, Angelus, Darla, and his darling Drusilla have been cutting a swath trough the continent, taking whatever catches their eye as they feed, leaving a trail of bloodless corpses in their wake. He’s having the time of his life!
But still, deep down, the frustrated poet remains, searching for a word to rhyme with bloody mayhem.
The End

Essay on William Pratt.
Now, the nasty personalities also show up alright, what with slaughtering almost all of a continent in particular; that can't be morally rooted at all.
Amazingly, it seems as though Buffy the Vampire Slayer and his other stories that've been made into films and series were Joss Whedon's exploration of the concept of religion, based on a book I ran across about faith in his works.
If so, then it stands to reason that the vampires therein would be on the run away from religious strength too, come to think of it... and his works in that feature have been useful to me indeed, for a variety of reasons.
Overall, this's yet another masterpiece of yours, please do keep up the brilliant quality work!
Sincerely one of your hopefully entirely too many fans;
Vantiri.
P.S. Yes, he is an interesting poet, but I'd encourage him to keep at it, as it's been said rightly that it takes only 10,000 hours to become an expert, and as a vampire, he'd have almost endless hours to work on that skill, until the Earth turns to a volcanic planet again, as it turns out.
